The Bland - The Politician's Vote
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
While the pigs are serving sundaes in hell's flaming arcade
A G D
The politician visits there to see it's fine parade
D
The devil screams "I want you here. I'll serve you more than they",
A G A
And points his crooked finger towards the heaven's shining rays
[Chorus]
D Bm D G
"Give me some time", the man he says and twists his face in thought
A Bm G A
"I can't yet choose of these two things, my vote it must be bought"
[Verse 2]
D
The smirking Devil sighed and pulled the man up to a door
A G D
And said "behold, this is the choice that you were asking for"
D
And when he stepped in the, the burning fires had just then turned to white,
A G A
And a naked angel oh so sweet approached him in the light
[Chorus]
D Bm D G
"What you see is the golden land where sin is not a word.
A Bm G A
I'll be the one to show you where your prayers will be heard"
[Verse 3]
D
They flew away among the clouds and life it seemed so painless
A G D
The people they smiled happily and there were no sight of excess
D
The politicians choice was made and he stopped a little rough
A G A
"Angel, let me meet with god, I think I've seen enough"
[Chorus]
D Bm D G
And he was brought to god, and told him, "oh, you know I like it here
A Bm G A D
But I've made my choice, I'm pretty sure I liked it better down there"
[Verse 4]
D
To god's surprise the man he sailed alone back to the door
A G D
And pressed the big red elevator button to the floor
D
When he got down, the door it opened to a whole new sight
A G A
Of twisted demons whipping slaves in the cold and freezing night
[Chorus]
D Bm D G
"Lucifer", the man he cried. "This is'n't what you promised"
A Bm G A
"Oh, your right", the devil laughed. "There's something that you missed"
D Bm D G
"The day you came in, yesterday was the day of the election
A Bm G A D
Now you made your vote you must live with your selection"
[Outro]
D
